Cascades White river drainage off Mt. Rainier. Tree was years dead and just a shell not too far up, in a popular USFS Campground soo had to be removed.
Thats an old one. I had to clear some trees on a property, the biggest of them a doug fir which i counted 266 years old. I measeured it at 6 foot through
Now I know the reason for the holding chains around the base! That was a very dangerous tree! Most likely would have barber chaired without them and possibly caused a serious situation!
Was a shell about 14 feet up. Tree was in a USFS campground and long dead public danger removal.. Forest service left it lay just cleaned up the stump and pulled the girdle straps.
Spent a lot of time in my youth up in Washington 70's. So you mean to tell me all those clear cuts up there I saw are due to removing "overripe" trees? Loggers have decimated much of Northern Ca. and Washington. They blame environmentalists when there are no trees left to cut.Intelligent group some of these guys. GREED GREED GREED. Nothing lasts forever including the worst species on this Earth. MAN!
@@thejackel1844 Sounds like someone here is sensitive about the timber industry and their destructive irresponsible practices (ask the guys in the salmon industry)...Hmmmmm? Frederick Weyerhauser in the 1800's said his intention was to cut down every tree west of the Mississippi. Like I said not all folks in the tree cutting business are the brightest bulbs. Suicide really? No way. Life has been good to my immediate family. Lots of miles to hike and lots of trees to hug. You wouldn't understand sounds like. As long as the old bank account is good and that huge tax refund keeps coming in all is good huh? Go God in 2020 (I meant Trump). LOL!
@@thejackel1844 So the original trees these guys cut were only 40 years old? No, they clearcut 300 year old trees and messed up the riparian zones around the streams that salmon and steelhead USE to use to spawn in. Good job guys! You are an idiot. Keep that chainsaw of yours tuned up. Varoom, varoom LOL! Duh, must cut down big tree, pound me chest varoom, varoom.
@@mikeravenelle7073 Didn't say that those were 40 years old. You seem to have a problem with reading comprehension ... Reading comprehension seems to be the least of your problems !...
@@elonmust7470 I have no clue what sorta logic you're trinna reach for but I'm very confused by ur comment. These trees provide incalculable value to our environment. Destroying them ends that value and in fact puts back much of that sequestered carbon into the atmosphere. Overall it's terrible for the environment. Future generations will look upon these people with hatred. I guarantee you. Guarantee.
@@mang0donald874 I'm a career tumber faller. The average logger is a bigger conservationist that you will ever be.. What you think you know about the environment is false. Continue to believe the people who ride around in private jets all year, continue to be a fool without a clue.
